  • Multimode execution of virtual hardware models
    Patent number: 9542513
    Abstract: The disclosure contains descriptions of various methods and systems for accelerating the execution of a virtual prototype simulation. Acceleration may be achieved, for example, by providing two or more redundant virtual communication paths for access made by virtual models of a virtual prototype of a hardware design to provide for both accelerated access transactions and time-accurate access transactions. A model having such redundant virtual communication paths is referred to herein as a “multimode model.

  • Partitioning and parallel processing of a virtual prototype simulation of a hardware design
    Patent number: 9098652
    Abstract: A method including accessing a first virtual prototype configured to perform a first simulation of a hardware design, identifying checkpoints within the first virtual prototype, each checkpoint including a storage state and/or behavioral state, and determining breakpoints for dividing execution of a second virtual prototype into a series of execution segments, where the second virtual prototype is configured to perform a second simulation of the hardware design, the second virtual prototype includes virtual models representing a separate portion of the hardware design, each virtual model representing a same portion of the hardware design as a corresponding virtual model of the first virtual prototype.
